Now this is a good thing. Unlike their American counterparts, the Russians are still doing their part in regards to the international space station.

Teen Angst?
Now, as I was saying about the vileness of American youth… Nice of his well-to-do parents to make bond for the little jerk. A little time in stir would likely do him some good. And what’s with the anononimity of the other perpetrator? Allowing juvenile defendants to hid behind their age is simply wrong.
Malpractice Reporting
Here’s a view against capping medical malpractice lawsuits. Personally, I am for capping these lawsuits, at least to the extent that they are responsible for rising medical costs. However, as Dr. Pinson alludes to, bad and incompetent doctors should not be allowed to mis-practice their profession in secrecy. It’s simple enough to bring these matters…
Good Companies
Here’s a list of companies who have “have expanded their pay differential and medical coverage policies for Reserve and National Guard members called to active duty”.
American Air Execs Full of Hot Air
Eating apparently wasn’t going to be a problem for American Airline execs, at least until their unions found out about new executive comp plans and raised the roof with their objections.

Stupidity Here in Texas
Rep. Kino Flores of Mission has introduced a resolution that would make tortilla chips and salsa the official state snack. Thank goodness for this important legislation. — Some people think they have found a legitimate use for pit bulls. That will be the day. There’s no good reason to own one of these dogs if…
Texas Drivers
This could be based on actual research… The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded a project with the U.S. auto maker for the past five years, whereby the auto makers were installing black boxes in four-wheel drive pick-up trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the…
School Food, not Exercise
Kids that eat too much junk food and exercise too little are prime candidates for diabetes, one study shows. This makes sense, doesn’t it? So what’s the problem? Are families too busy making ends meet and/or keeping up with the Joneses to play ball with their kids? Spending too much time stuck in traffic to…
Chicago = Idiot?
What is it about baseball fans in general, and Chicago fans in particular, that makes them such morons?
